NON-PORTABLE
ETHERNET
The Ethernet Chain Wear Monitor is tailored for a specific conveyor. It is intended to remain stationary on a beam for the duration of the conveyor life. The convenience of the Ethernet model is the ability to access data and monitor multiple devices via a typical TCP/IP network connection at a workstation with the required software. This model does not contain an internal battery and must use a 120-220 VAC 50/60hz power source. Up to 26 historic data files are stored on an Ethernet model and are continuously available for download.
PORTABLE
USB
Chain Wear Monitor offers the convenience of portability and is adaptable to most common English & Metric chain sizes. It can be moved from conveyor to conveyor, storing chain wear readings that can easily be downloaded with the included Castrol USB memory stick. The portable model also features an internal rechargeable battery with exceptional life and quick recharge rates. A data file is maintained on the device even after battery life is diminished. The custom designed protective case is an optional accessory.
